If they where located in the US it would be a whole hell of a lot easer to sue them. But, people forget about such details because it saves them a dime.
Well, too much in your system can turn you blue. Do a google search on Colloidal Silver.
Medicinal silver is most often sold as colloidal silver protein (CSP). In a recent case report, a 56-year-old man noticed a blue discoloration under his fingernails.1 He had been taking CSP supplements daily for 3 years, in hopes of preventing colds and allergies. The diagnosis was argyria, a blue-black tinting of the skin and mucous membranes caused by a build-up of silver. Numerous similar cases have been reported in recent years.2,3 In argyria, silver deposited in the body reacts with the sun through a process similar to that of the development of a photographic negative. This leads to permanent discoloration of the skin. Changes may be seen in the eyes, lips, and nose as well. The condition was even more common in decades past, when CSP was an accepted medical treatment. Fortunately, argyria is seldom dangerous, although in some cases nerve damage may occur.
OCZ would like to take this time to address the recent article published at Overclockers.com, ( http://www.overclockers.com/articles938/ )which shows that OCZ Ultra 2 thermal compound has no silver content.
OCZ does not manufacture Ultra 2 thermal compound in house, it is provided by a foreign manufacturer with our specifications. Previous independent lab tests conducted at the request of OCZ have shown that the silver compound content in Ultra 2 is 25% by volume and 70% by weight.
In response to this article, OCZ has submitted another batch of Ultra 2 to a third party for extensive lab testing. This Independent lab report show's that the most recent batch of OCZ Ultra 2 indeed contains less than 1% silver by volume. While simultaneously we have received lab reports from an outside source indicating the silver content to be 30% by weight. This leads us to the conclusion that recent batch(s) of OCZ Ultra 2 from our supplier did not meet the agreed specifications.
We accept full responsibility for these problems and we will be seeking legal action against our supplier.
In order to help solve this problem we have contacted Arctic Silver Inc, and entered into a vendor agreement with them to supply OCZ thermal paste.
Beginning January 22nd 2004 we are issuing a full recall of any and all OCZ Ultra 2.
Any Customers who wish to return OCZ Ultra 2 thermal paste with an invoice will in exchange for their full or partially used tube(s) receive: 1- One (dependant on # of tubes returned) 3-gram OCZ thermal Compound (made by Arctic Silver Inc.) or one OCZ Dominator 2 Heatsink. 2- One OCZ EL DDR T-Shirt 3- One 10 dollar off rebate on any OCZ EL DDR Dual Channel Kit (at participating resellers)

Well, considering that the US is a REPUBLIC that would be a bad thing.
The USA is a nation of states, not of big cities.
Get the commerical GRMS radios like that use at Target and Wal-Mart. You know the things you see the managers using.
Why get rid of the Electoral College?
Why are you pissed?

These products claim the contain the element silver.
The price of silver today at market close was about 6.20 USD per ounce. Not that expensive considering what these products cost.

Perl...
Perl.
In case you haven't noticed is bad when normal people import cheeper things. Globalization is only ok if it increases company profits.
Like those currently in power have shown any interest in saving American tech jobs. They don't care.
WTF are you talking about?
Bhopal, India didn't stop the chemical industry.
They will not insure new reactors because the goverment does.
Just like variable acceleration using the MS-DOS logitech mouse drivers from the late 80's early 90's?
Not new, not unique, not deserving of a patent.
That still doesn't explain why they should have a fscking patent on it. It's just a wheel and/or touchpad.
Let me guess you are one of those idiots that spends 2x 3x on t-shirts/hats simply to advertise for a company...
Do you want to use the damn thing to listen to music or as a status symbol?
No moving parts...You mean just like the touchpad on laptops?
How is that different than a scroll wheel on a mouse?
DUCT tape! Not Duck tape! It doesn't quack! That is unless you got Duck tape brand Duct tape. (Wish I was joking)
Not everyone. I live in an area with only one highspeed provider so it's not like I have any real choice in the matter.
The grad student had a nervous breakdown because he was having a little trouble? Damn they should put him incharge of their army!
Hell, having a person in the house for an extended amount of time would make it too hot to be comfortable.
